Q: What is NFL 33 format?
A: In the NFL 33 pool format, members are each assigned a unique NFL team (32 members max). Members win when their team scores 33 points. There are usually 4-7 scores of 33 points throughout the season.
This is an excellent format for the more casual user, looking for some excitement during the NFL season without having to research picks or rush to get their picks in before a deadline.
Q: Why can't I add more than 32 members?
A: Members are each assigned a unique NFL team (32 members = 32 NFL teams)
Q: What pool options are available for this format?
A: We offer several different options for how you can run your 33 Point football Pool:
Randomly assign different NFL teams to your members each week (with each receiving exactly one bye), or once for the whole season.
Choose whether members must get the exact target score of 33, or if the person closest to 33 points wins.
Change the target score from 33. Make the target any number of your choosing.
Q: How does a pool commissioner declare winners?
A: Pool commissioners have several different options for how you can declare winners:
Traditional: Winners are declared only when their team scores exactly 33 points. If no team scores 33 points during a week, the pool will roll over to the following week. When someone finally hits 33 points, they are considered the winner of that week, and all consecutive weeks prior that did have NOT a winner.
Guaranteed Weekly Winner: If you set your pool to "closest to 33 wins", you will have a guaranteed winner each week who is the closest to the target score (doesn't matter if you go over).
Seasonal Winner: We calculate a running total of the difference each member's team deviates from the target score each week and provide a seasonal differential, showing who was the closest to the target on average.
Q: How can I change my entry name that appears in the reports?
A: Entry names can be changed on your entries page within the pool. Click on the appropriate pool membership on your Pool Memberships page. Once in the pool, navigate to the 'Your Picks' tab and click the 'rename' link next to the entry you would like to change.
Q: As the pool commissioner, how can I add extra entries for members in my NFL 33 Pool?
A: To add additional entries, go to Commissioner Console -> NFL Team Assignments. There is a button at the top to "Add another entry".
Q: When are the standings (and other reports) updated?
A: Most updates will occur within minutes of the conclusion of each game, however due to the nature of the internet, we make no guarantee about the exact time an update will take place.
